Sunny Side of the Doc’s Connected Edition wrapped yesterday (June 25) with multiple prizes going to Olha Zhurba’s Roma and Valentina Cicogna and Mattia Colombo’s Pure Unknown.
More than 1,700 accredited industry members took part in the first-ever digital edition of the festival and conference, with participants coming from countries rarely seen in La Rochelle, including Kenya, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Serbia, Bulgaria and beyond.
“It’s an excellent result for our first Connected Edition which has been able to bring together the documentary community from around the world,” said Mathieu Béjot, director of strategy and development, in a statement. “For the very first time, the ratio of French to international accredited industry delegates is equal at 50/50, which gives us material to think about the global reach an online event can have.”
In addition to the video library and virtual marketplace, Sunny Side ’20 also featured a conference program with a mix of pre-recorded conferences, interactive sessions and more. PiXii Festival, meanwhile, featured immersive experiences (AR, VR, 360-degree, binaural sound and physical installations).
Pure Unknown, from Valentina Cicogna and Mattia Colombo, tells the story of a female Italian forensic scientist’s crusade to find out who all of the unidentified bodies in the city morgues are, and why authorities don’t care more about them. It was named the winner of the East Doc Market Award, DAE Talent Encouragement Award, and received invitations from Movies that Matter and DOK Leipzig.
Meanwhile, Olha Zhurba’s Roma (working title; pictured) from Moon Man in Ukraine, is a coming-of-age story of a Ukrainian teenager as he endures living on the streets. It picked up the Best Social Pitch prize, Meeting Point Vilnius Award, and a festival invite to DOK.FEST Munich.
The 32nd edition of Sunny Side of the Doc and the 5th edition of PiXii Festival will take place on June 21-24, 2021, with a focus on documentary coproductions with Central and Eastern Europe.
